Portable jump starters could be the next wearables in the how-many-more-of-these-are-they-going-to-come-out-with department. Luckily for Cyntur: 1) We haven't gotten to that point yet; and 2) Most of the packs juiced with power and fitted with jumper cables for revitalizing dead car batteries have mixed reviews. Cyntur's JumperPack Mini intends to improve upon the glovebox jump starter concept with a few key features that set it apart from competitors.

Power. The Lithium-Ion JumperPack has a 12,000 mAh battery that will get 4, 6, and even 8-cylinder engines going again. A fully charged device has enough power for 25 back-to-back jump starts.

Battery Life. The JumperPack Mini will last for up to one year on a single charge.

LED Lights. Dead battery in the dark? Need extra light to find the ID you dropped between your seats? The Jumper Pack Mini also has a 200-lumen flashlight at one end. The light can be set to shine continuously or strobe during emergencies.

2.1 USB port. If your car battery is solid, but your tablet's dead, the JumperPack can charge it as well. The backup battery has enough life for 5 smartphone and 1.5 tablet charges.

Safety. The JumperPack exceeds UL, TUV, and USDOT safety standards.

Size. This jump starter weighs less than a pound, and is packaged in a case with jumper cables small enough to fit in a glove box, trunk, or even under the seat.
